DOMAINE LES VALLONS DE FONTFRESQUE
Ideally located in the heart of green Provence, and benefiting from a Mediterranean micro-climate from the "interior", this 37 hectare sunny vineyard, historically worked in the greatest respect for the environment, definitively freed itself from all chemical products in 2013, when Claire Sicamois, the owner, obtained her AB (organic farming) certification. Short pruning and green harvesting in order to distribute a better quality grape on the vine. Grenache, cinsault, carignan, cabernet-sauvignon, syrah, alicante, rolle and ugni blanc are hand-picked and rigorously selected to guarantee excellent quality nectars in all three colours. Try La cuvée de Claire in PDO Coteaux-varois-en-Provence white, La Cuvée des Tamaris PDO Coteaux-varois-en-Provence rosé, or La Cuvée Amarante in PDO Coteaux-varois-en-Provence red, aged in oak casks. We are also seduced by the novelty of the estate, the Cuvée Trésor de Claire in white PGI, a sweet Mombazillac type, a Petit Manseng grape variety originating from the Pyrenean foothills that has been planted on the estate, which gives it this bitterness at the end of the mouth very specific to the area. Wines of great quality, which have been selected many times by the Hachette des vins guide.
